A Fine Philly

Trammps – Rubber Band

Trammps hailed from Philadelphia and became pretty famous in the mid-seventies with tunes such as ‘Hold Back The Night’ and ‘Disco Inferno’. In 1973, before these heady disco days, they released this soul classic. Dilla sampled this tune as one of his ‘Donuts’ tracks. Someone’s recently done the edit thang with it too, but I think it really stands up just the way it was.
I’ve just noticed that it was mixed by Tom Moulton who, prior to becoming the producer that some say invented the remix (as a dub fan I take issue with this), had a brief career as a male model. Well, well.

    Senor Price.. I am really sensing from some of your more recent posts distinctly disco edgings. Let me down easy, Cherchez La Femme.. and now this!

    Also, in may ways, 73 WAS the heady days of disco, when it was all really starting to kick off (ie many years before sound and attitude was homogenized into a formula), and if you look at the charts of the key djs if that era, this track was a staple of those early disco clubs.
